Peter Durward Harris

British sixties pop singer best remembered for Tell him

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 15. August 2005

Born Carol Hedges but performing with the stage name Billie Davis, she just made the UK top ten in 1963 with Tell him, a cover of an American song originally recorded by the Exciters whose own version also made the UK charts but only just. Billie was almost killed in a road accident later that year but she eventually recovered from her injuries
Billie's first UK chart credit was actually on a novelty record (Will I what) by Mike Sarne. That record was on Parlophone and it can be found on a Mike Sarne compilation. This compilations focuses on Billie's recordings for Decca, which include Tell him, He's the one (both from 1963) and I want you to be my baby (from 1968), all of which made the UK charts though two were only minor hits. It is interesting to note that Billie's final UK hit (I want you to be my baby) featured backing vocals by Madeline Bell (later to become a member of Blue Mink), Doris Troy (famous for Just one look) and Kiki Dee (whose two biggest hits were duets with Elton John, but who was a fine singer in her own right).
A close look at Billie's career shows that she left Decca for Columbia, later switching to Piccadilly before returning to Decca, where she released several interesting but unsuccessful singles including covers of Angel of the morning (included here) and Nights in white satin (not included). Of course, none of Billie's Columbia or Piccadilly recordings appear here although some of those tracks occasionally turn up of various artists compilations focusing on obscure sixties material.
While this is far from being the ultimate Billie Davis compilation, it includes all her essential solo recordings.

Long overdue

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 9. März 2005

She may have only had the one significant hit, a feisty rendition of The Exciters' R&B classic "Tell Him", but Billie Davis remains one of the greatest British female vocalists of the 1960s. Her story reads like a Who's Who of Sixties pop. She was 'discovered' by the legendary 'Telstar' man Joe Meek, lived downstairs from original Rolling Stone Brian Jones, repelled the amorous advances of John Lennon, caused a tabloid scandal after a car crash involving The Shadows' Jet Harris which saw her dubbed "the scarlet woman of pop", and played with members of Led Zeppelin and The Moody Blues. Compiled with the co-operation of Billie Davis herself, "Tell Him" is a testimony to an unsung heroine of '60s pop whose reassessment has been long overdue.

Looking For Billie. Where Is She? Oh, She's On the Couch!

Rezension aus Australien vom 5. Januar 2020

Verifizierter Kauf

On top of my bag, where Uncle Clayton told me before we left to go to the markets to busk, and I was too excited and came home last Wednesday afternoon to find her, assuming my bag was propped up against my passage wall out the front. Spending an hour of my precious time, off my face on tramadole (LOL) trying to find the CD and my bag. Out the front, I could hear Sandra Mariden from Pay Pal and her son who had just been stung by a bee. I asked her for help and waited patiently for her to come and help me find Billie Davis. After 45 mins, I went into the room and listened to some good ole Don Fardon, to help cure my disappointment. Did Sandra steal my CD? She might bee a huge fan. I forgot to lock the door before I left, and Sandra's 7 year old son had stolen it. These Easter hols, she is vacationing here in Mundijong, Western Australia with her son next door, and whenever I have issues with my Pay Pal account, I can walk across the road and ask her for help. Three and a half hours later, my washing was finally tumbling around in the machine to the sounds of "I Want You to Be My Baby", "Suffer", "Nobody's Home To Go Home To" (my all time favourite Billie song), "I'll Come Home", which sadly has a dropout In the right channel towards the end of the final chorus, "It Is Love", "You Here To Guide Me", "Tell Him" of course, "I'm Thankful", "V.I.P", a funny little song about how important Billie's man is, and some more Lulu style songs "Love To Love", better than Neil Diamond's original track, and "I'm In Love With You". Spending all Easter long weekend, I've come to appreciate this music and learn just how wonderful she is as a vocalist and how great the song choices were. Clayton, I'll just quickly pack my bag. I'm bringing Billie. Not the Billie Bong I hope.No, Billie Davis. She's fantastic. Did you know that before getting hold of Sandra Mariden that I rang Uncle Clayton and asked him to tell me where he put my CD? Sandra never showed up to help me and wasted a whole hour of my time. I knew she'd let me down. At least she's consistant. Avoyd Sandra Mariden like the plague and wait until your parents come home from work to help find your CD. They will likely bring it into your room. Go listen to Don Fardon like I did when you can't find your bag and your Billie Davis CD. I am a huge Billie Fan, and on listening on YouTube Good Friday night at my cousin's, he also became a fan of "I Want You To Be My Baby" and I became a fan of "Bedtime Story", and would really like the "Whatya Gonna Do" compilation CD on RPM. Enjoy one of the finest feemail singers of the 60's. The booklet comes in the form of a tri- fold three panel. I whish that this had every single Decca track she done, but they did in deed pick the best twenty. Thanks to Spectrum for making a great compilation CD available.

INQUISITIVENESS MADE ME GET THE C.D

Rezension aus dem Vereinigten Königreich vom 18. April 2023

Verifizierter Kauf

I got the album because I can remember Billie singing 'Tell Him' way back in the early 1960's - when I was 11 years old - and was wondering if she had recorded any more tracks like that. Well, no there aren't any more tracks quite like that. The whole album seems to comprise of her surrounded by too many in-house record company session musicians overdoing it to ensure that they could claim a wage whether they were needed or not. To that end I suppose it was how the record companies churned out music with individual recording artists back then, in the hope of finding a hit record on their hands by pure chance rather than skill. I think this is where the potential of Billie having a more successful career went adrift. I kept four of the tracks as downloads from the C.D and the rest were just over-arranged throwaway pap that probably weren't worth listening to back then, let alone now. I'm sure that this was not Billie's fault but is a reflection on the way the industry acted at the time, owning their recording artists and dictating what they should do without having any actual clue themselves.

Happy Memories

Rezension aus dem Vereinigten Königreich vom 22. Juli 2009

Verifizierter Kauf

I was 14 years old when I saw Billie Davis singing on stage in 1963....it was love at first sight! She was very pretty and her singing was great too. Now, 46 years later, I bought a ticket to go and see 'Me & My Shadows' with Jet Harris (her former beau) which was to feature Billie, but unfortunately it was cancelled. However, it was on the basis of seeing Billie again that I thought I'd better re-acquaint myself with her music, particularly in her most formative years and this album seemed to tick all the right boxes. I was not disappointed. After the early success of Tell Him it seems as if the fates conspired to knock her back at every turn. The car accident, which shattered Billie's jaw, her vilification for being involved with a married man, the aforesaid Jet, who was also severly injured in the car crash, and PP Arnold pipping her to the post with Angel Of The Morning, although Billie's version is outstanding and should have been a big hit for her. To Billie's credit, she never gave up and in 1968 it seemed as if success was again in her grasp with her release of the excellent I Want You To Be My Baby when strike action at the record plant stopped the flow of singles to the shops. It stalled at #33.
Listening to this album, Billie comes over as a good but not a great singer and sometimes the choice of songs leaves a lot to be desired, although I guess Decca dictated much of her early work. Having said that, there are some excellent tracks. I like Nobody's Home To Go Home To, a delicious ballad and the Goffin/King number Wasn't It You. Interesting too are the cover versions of Living In The Past and Darling Be Home Soon. One noticeable ommission though is Nights In White Satin.
In reviewing this selection of Billie's early output it makes me feel a little sad that, all things being equal, her obvious talent should have been better rewarded.

Tell Him: Billie Davis the Decca Years - Interesting collection from unfairly little known artist

Rezension aus dem Vereinigten Königreich vom 19. März 2012

Verifizierter Kauf

The sixties saw many famous Britgirl singers who's fame still lives on today - Dust Springfield, Lulu, Petula Clarke, etc etc. But there were so many, of equally great talent, that didn't quite make it and are largely forgotten. Billie Davis is just such a one. With a career beset by bad luck and bad timing she made some great records, but never really made the impression that she should have.

This collection, anthologising her output with the Decca label shows just what we missed. It contains perhaps her biggest hit, Tell Him, a fast paced t4rack in the Lulu style. The rest of the collection showcases that she was more than just a teen belter, there are tracks that represent most of the trends running through the sixties, slower bluesy numbers, hippie flower power tracks and the odd hint of rock. There is a cover of Jethro Tull's hit `Living In The Past', which stands up there with the original, capturing the sneering anger in the lyric to a tee.

It's a great collection of tracks from this criminally and unfairly overlooked artist. Great production values, great singing that really gets across the meaning of the song, Davis had talent and commitment. I was very impressed throughout when I discovered this record, 5 stars.
